The place where we decided to travel this time is Chiang Mai, Thailand. Because of the rich local environment and herbs, it is often compared to another name of "Northland Rose", which was once the favorite town of the late singer Teresa Teng!

A little tip written in front

1. It is recommended that the Thai baht be exchanged in domestic China banks, and the exchange rate is the most cost-effective. If it is not enough, the exchange rate of Ningman Road Exchange Store will generally be higher than that of the ancient city.

There is a long queue for visas on arrival. It is recommended to apply for a visa in advance. It is suggested that Taobao find "100 cities". Com "for a visa.

3. Thailand's tourism is mainly temples, and the dress code is strict. You must do your homework in advance.

4. Recommend several mobile app:Google.

Maps (Google Maps, in a country where you can drive motorcycles freely, you deserve it); Tripadvisor (Catwalk Eagle, the owl logo everywhere in Chiang Mai, food guide, much more practical than public comments); Eat, drink and be merry in Chiang Mai (a raiders software that domestic tourists like, and a friendly partner of Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency); As for Ctrip and Honeycomb, it depends on personal preference.

Day 1 day

In order to save travel expenses, we chose to take AirAsia's red-eye flight, fly from Guangzhou to Chiang Mai at 00: 05 in the morning, transfer in Bangkok, and need to spend one night at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok.

AirAsia Tips (for friends who have never been on AirAsia)

AirAsia departing from China needs to print your boarding pass, show your pre-printed e-ticket and baggage ticket at the AirAsia counter at the airport (AirAsia will send you an email after booking, and check in online about 10 days in advance), and the staff will print your boarding pass for Bangkok and check in. Airasia flights departing from abroad can board the plane directly by e-ticket, so you only need to show the pre-printed e-ticket to fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and check your luggage directly to Chiang Mai without picking up the goods on the way. At Bangkok airport, be careful not to leave the airport and take the connecting passage. When you arrive at Chiang Mai Airport, be sure to pay attention to the staff with signs in the aisle. They will write down your name and tell you where to pick up your luggage, which is different from other places where passengers pick up their luggage directly. We didn't pay attention and almost missed σ (

△|||||)) Bangkok's Don Muang Airport is super cold in the early morning. Remember to bring more clothes!

After we arrived in Chiang Mai, we immediately asked the staff to help us call a taxi at the taxi service center opposite the airport exit, got on the bus with the ticket written by the staff, and went to the unified 250B in the ancient city. Our first destination is a massage parlor in a women's prison recommended by a friend, which is located at the crossroads behind the Three Kings Monument. It was already 1 1 when we arrived (the area of this massage parlor is limited, so remember to arrive as early as possible! )

On the way, we walked to the nearby "Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency" and booked tickets for Jungle Leap, Chiang Rai Day Tour and Pai County. The travel agency delivers the service by plane, and the overall price is similar to that booked by Ctrip. Fluent Chinese at the front desk, barrier-free communication.

1 1 o'clock, we returned to the massage parlor on time. According to the online introduction, this massage shop is opened to help service personnel find jobs. Technicians are on the job, and the hourly fee is 200B yuan. The price is very cheap and comfortable, which left us an excellent impression when we first arrived in Chiang Mai.

After the massage, we took two buses to Ningman Road to check into the hotel. This hotel, named Chanette, is a Loft industrial hotel located in online celebrity store Mango.

Next to the tango, the decoration is very distinctive and the front desk is very enthusiastic. The only drawback is that there is no elevator.

Of course, the first thing to do after putting down your luggage is to fill your stomach. We went straight to the online celebrity store Local, which is located at the intersection of Ningman Road, opposite Maya Shopping Mall.

Cafe, this big cat carrying a bag is its symbol. I ordered watermelon ice, cheesecake, rice and high-value powder, all of which were delicious. The large floor-to-ceiling glass has a good environment and is not expensive. Recommended!

I didn't go anywhere in the afternoon because I didn't sleep well at the airport the night before. Sleeping is the most important thing.

Wandering along Ningman Road in the evening, I accidentally walked into a restaurant called KhunMorCuisine on Ningman 17 Street, and accidentally found that the chicken rice and clear soup rice noodles were delicious.

the next day

The next day, we plan to visit the Shuanglong Temple in Sutieshan. We asked the hotel front desk how to get there in advance. MM at the front desk said it was better to take a double chartered bus to Chiang Mai University, and the price was cheaper. We went directly to Chiang Mai University on Ningman Road by double shuttle bus, with 80 people. After arriving at the main entrance of the university, I happened to see a two-car driver soliciting passengers up the mountain and going back and forth from Su Tieshan 160B to the university. If he wants to go back to Ningman Road, he will add 40B.

Going to Sutieshan is basically a mountain road, with many sharp bends, about half an hour's drive, but thanks to the driver's driving skills, I threw up as soon as I got off the bus. The driver told us that the tour time was 1.5 hours, and he waited for us in the parking lot. Shuanglong Temple collects 20B temple maintenance fees from foreigners. The whole Ssangyong Temple is magnificent and condescending, and you can also see the panoramic view of downtown Chiang Mai, which is really worth an eye-opener.

After Su Tieshan came down, we asked the hotel MM to rent a motorcycle for us. The rent is 270 pounds a day, and we need to bring our passports. After renting a car, we set off for lunch. Our original plan was to go to An Chuan on the advice of the tour guide.

Noodle ate blue noodles, but after we sat down, we found that we went to another restaurant called Anchan, whose full name was AnchanVegetarian.

The restaurant is a vegetarian restaurant. I don't want to change places because I am too hungry. Who knows that the menu is only in English and Thai, and there are no pictures, so I can't understand σ (△

|||||) I had to open the Cat's Eye Eagle APP and point to some pictures on the APP. As soon as the food was served, I found the color very beautiful and beautiful. I found it delicious after trying it! Jojo, eat! It is worth mentioning that it is the seventh restaurant in Chiang Mai.

-Address: Oppotesoi 13, Nimmanahaemindanda Road

After lunch, it's about 3 o'clock. While there was still time, we decided to visit the ancient city by motorcycle and visit the most famous Chaidilong Temple in the ancient city. There are not many tourists in the afternoon, and with the reflection of the sunset, the big stupa looks so dazzling, which is a good time to take pictures. In front of the stupa, people feel so small that they are awed when they look at this historic building.

▲ This is the main hall of Chaidilong Temple. Monks sit neatly chanting, followed by devout believers.

In the evening, we went back to Maya Shopping Mall on Ningman Road, and I saw a sudra there.

Dhevi's almond cakes sell well. Inadvertently brushed to Weibo, I found an open terrace on the top floor of Maya with a panoramic view of Ningman Road. There are two bars on the terrace, where many local young people sprinkle dog food. Pay attention. On the way back to the hotel, we went to the online celebrity shop next to the hotel and Mango, which is called "Xu Liushan, Thailand".

Tango tasted all kinds of mango desserts.

▲ On the left is DharaDhevi's almond cake combination, which tastes free, 200B, but it is too sweet; Youwei Online Celebrity Store Mango

Tango's mango glutinous rice, mango glutinous rice is a little more delicious than the roadside stalls, and taking pictures is ok, but it is not recommended.

the third day

On the third day, the most anticipated jungle leap project in Chiang Mai will be carried out, and the most popular route jungle will be played.

Flying, the introduction is very attractive. I have made a reservation at Han Chiang Mai Travel Agency. At 8 o'clock, the driver arrived at the gate of our hotel on time. The place where the jungle leaps is in the suburbs and mountains. About 1 hour by car from the hotel.

Upon arrival, the staff will guide you to put your belongings in the storage box, and then ask everyone to sign a "certificate of life and death". If you need full name photo service, you can give it to two other people. 1800B. Considering that we won't take mobile phones by leaps and bounds, we need this service. Then a car, we are a team.

Nine people led by a coach, an assistant and a footman began to leap!

The coach is very good. He can speak English and a little Mandarin. Before the leap, everyone felt nervous, and some said they were afraid of heights, but when the coach flew over the first platform, we could see that everyone was relaxed. Because the safety measures are really sufficient and the coach is very professional, he will guide and help you all the time. No weightlessness, no fear at all, flying from one tree to another feels really cool. The most correct is the 400-meter and 1000-meter cableway, which is super exciting and recommended for wall cracking. This is definitely a must-see in Chiang Mai!

After the leap in the jungle, everyone had a good time. After lunch, they happily set foot on the way back. After returning to the hotel on Ningman Road, we packed our bags and took a taxi for two to the ancient city of Cocopam.

Stay at the INN hotel, which has a convenient location and the feeling of a small house. It's very good. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to Tapemen. There are many food and shopping shops nearby, just beside the main road of the ancient city. In the evening, we go for a walk in the tower gate. There are many pigeons in Tumen Square, and there is a feed stall next to it. We bought a small bag of feed. He can also help you make pigeons fly in groups, create pictures and provide free photo service.

It was getting dark, so we chose a shop called Ugo near the tape door.

I went to the Italian restaurant in Bar & Restaurant for dinner, and my ranking on Cat's Eye Eagle was 1 1. I ordered two spaghetti, two drinks and 1 salad, which was much bigger than we expected! Two people can't finish it, and it's not expensive and tastes good! Recommended!

-Address: No.47, Moon Muang Road

After dinner, go straight through Tapemen, about 15 minutes, and you can reach Changkang Road Night Market. The weekend night market is open on weekends, but Changkang Road is open every day. Those who can't catch up with the weekend night market can visit here. Passing a booth Rotee selling banana pancakes, the stall owner is three grandfathers and three grandmothers, and there is a small team in front of the booth. I want to try it quickly, but it's too sweet.

The fourth day

On the fourth day, we signed up for a one-day tour in Chiang Rai, and the bus picked us up at 7 am. All day trips are in this van, with about 10 people, which is quite comfortable. The tour guide is fluent in English and can speak simple Chinese. The regular route of the Chiang Rai delegation is to visit the Black Temple in the morning and the White Temple in the afternoon, including a simple lunch. There is one drawback. We passed through the villages of the long-necked ethnic group on the way, and our tour fee did not include visiting the long-necked ethnic group. However, if someone in the same car signs up for a tour, he will have to wait until he has finished visiting, which will delay some time.

It's about 3 hours' drive to Chiang Rai, which means that the road is smooth and comfortable to sit on, so you don't need to take motion sickness medicine. Let's go to see the Black Temple first. The Black Temple is a museum of famous local artists, which contains all kinds of animal bones and a bunch of strange things. This is a place full of imagination and art, but I don't quite understand it anyway. It's good to open your eyes.

After lunch, we set out for the White Temple. I have seen many pictures of the White Temple on the Internet before, and I think it is a very beautiful temple. But when you come to the scene to witness this work of art, all you can feel is shock, madam. It is really a rare large-scale work of art, and it is definitely one of the essences of Chiang Mai tourism. You can't stop looking! Entering the gate of the scenic spot, I kept taking pictures all the way, crossed the Hell Bridge and walked into the temple. I felt that I had experienced a reincarnation and was very moved. We always feel that the browsing time of 1 hour is a bit short. In addition, there is a golden toilet in the scenic spot that cost a lot of money to build. The last toilet was so luxurious that it was a long experience. The tour guide said that with the ticket, you can get a brochure about the White Temple at the service desk, which has a Chinese version. After visiting the White Temple, I returned to my home in Chiang Mai and stayed in Keke at night.

Palm Hotel.

On this day, I sat in the car for more than 6 hours and felt a little tired. The first thing I did when I returned to the ancient city was to go to LILA near the hotel and have a herbal massage. An hour and a half is about 80 RMB, which makes me feel much more comfortable. But I think it is not as good as the women's prison in terms of cost performance. ˉ? ˉ? )

Fifth day

On the fifth day, I set off for Baixian, bought tickets in Chiang Mai and Han in advance, and took the Mini of Prempracha's house.

Van, one-way 30 RMB, a driver will pick you up at the gate of the hotel, then take you to a station outside the ancient city, and then transfer to Paixian.

Chiang Mai is 0/33km away from Baixian/Kloc-and has 762 bends. The roads are all asphalt, but the roads are rugged. Friends who are prone to carsickness should bring their own carsickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Remember to take motion sickness medicine! Suggestion! It takes about 3 hours by car. Go and buy a return ticket tomorrow as soon as you arrive at the station. I found that there was only 14 pm left, so I decided to buy it.

We booked Montis Resort in Paixian County, which is a resort hotel. The environment is good and comfortable enough to stay in a hotel. There are golf carts in and out of the hotel. If you want to go to PAI County, a van will be arranged to take you there. The service is so thoughtful!

For lunch, we randomly found NongBeer, a restaurant recommended by the city online.

Restaurant, the taste is so ordinary. Green papaya salad is a fighter in dark cuisine. After lunch, we rented a motorcycle in the motorcycle shop next to the station. It was only 200B yuan a day, so cheap!

We drove freely on the expressway in Paixian County, punched in along the punching route, and took pictures after the inverted hut, the big tree swing and the little yellow house.

In the evening, we went directly to the night market to find dinner. The night market in Paixian County is much more interesting than that in Changkang Road. We sold a lot of food along the way. We saw a food stall recommended by a Chinese mother on the Internet and ordered cold yellow noodles, which was delicious. I tried another local wonton, which was delicious.

sixth day

In the morning, we got up at 5 o'clock and drove our motorcycles to Yunlai observation deck to watch the sunrise! It was cold and cold all the way. It turns out that Thailand also has winter! Yunlai observation deck is not far from our hotel. On the way, we passed China Village. The roar of motorcycles broke the original tranquility of the village. "Yunlai", as its name implies, is a group of people who come from Yunlai to settle here. Everyone needs to charge 20B to go to the observation deck to watch the sunrise. They will give you a pot of tea after buying the ticket. If necessary, they can also order breakfast, steamed bread porridge and so on.

When we arrived, all the seats were basically full. Then wait and wait, because it rained the day before, the clouds were thick and it was dawn. In the end, the sun didn't appear, only a little light was revealed. What a pity!

We had to go down the mountain and go back to the hotel for breakfast. After breakfast, we rode a motorcycle to continue yesterday's punching trip, and went to the strawberry garden, the World War II Bridge and so on. There are few people along the way, so you can shoot all kinds of road styles at will and get up. I like this feeling of freedom.

After playing cards and having lunch, I embarked on a journey back to the ancient city. The driver drove so fast all the way that I vomited again. The first thing to do when I return to the ancient city is to go to Tapemen to get supplies for tomorrow's Chiang Mai Marathon and stay at Nai Boutique Hotel near Tapemen. This hotel is Thai, which is very distinctive.

Go south along the moat at night for about 10~ 15 minutes, and you will arrive at wuallai Road, which is the place of Saturday night market. As we left Chiang Mai on Sunday afternoon, it's a pity that we didn't feel the biggest Sunday night market. Saturday night market is very lively. The whole wuallai Road is full of vendors with all kinds of distinctive things. The night market is very big, and we had a good time shopping all the way. Finally, we were a little tired and didn't reach the finish line. Suggestions, suggestions! When the night market sees that the price of something you like is ok, let's start. Don't think about buying it when you come back, because the case has been closed when you come back!

Seventh day

It's finally time to run the Chiang Mai Marathon. As a matter of fact, we booked this trip to Chiang Mai in advance. Later, we found that the date of 65438+February 18 collided with the annual Chiang Mai Marathon. We have never run a marathon, so we decided to join in the fun and register through the domestic easy-to-run website. Although it is only a 3km mini-run, we are determined to participate, hahaha.

▲ Marathon clothes are black. In memory of King Tai, he changed his past colors.

. Before leaving, my friend said that the king of Thailand had just died, and it would be chaotic. Don't go. But Chiang Mai is actually very safe. Don't worry, Thailand has a high safety index.

People who run 42km horses started running at 5 o'clock. When we gathered at 7 o'clock, people basically ran all horses and half horses. But when we came to the starting point, the scene was still very lively, and people from all over the world gathered here, like attending a grand party.

On the way to running, I can always see cheerleaders organized by various schools cheering for the players, and suddenly I was infected by this enthusiastic country! The 3km run will be over soon, and we think we can actually report 7km because we are not tired at all! When you reach the finish line, you can win medals immediately, and there are food and drink at the supply point.

Today is the last day of the trip. In order to avoid leaving regrets, we decided to experience the local characteristic SPA in Thailand. After careful selection of various recommended software, we finally chose Deep.

Relax's SPA charges about 400 RMB for 2 hours per person. SPA is actually a traditional thai massage massage with essential oil, but it is comfortable enough to fall asleep?

After finishing the SPA, I recommended the food of Cat's Eye Eagle, and found Kanjana in northern Thailand nearby. Apart from delicious Thai noodles, I think several other Thai side dishes are quite good, recommended!

-Address: Ratchadam noen rd 7/2, Soi5 Ratchadam Noenrdsoi 5.

In the afternoon, we rented another motorcycle and visited the remaining two temples in Chiang Mai, Wat Chiang Man and Pasin Temple. These two temples have their own characteristics. Wat Chiang Man is a temple with a sense of time, and Pasin Temple is the highest-ranking temple in Chiang Mai. The stupa is resplendent and magnificent, which is different from that seen in Shuanglong Temple.

At the end of the trip, we bought a handwritten letter from boots and Herb near the North Gate and returned the car. After the checkout, Han, the driver in charge of seeing us off in Chiang Mai, came to pick us up on time. At the airport, I am reluctant to part with the fun, massage and food in Chiang Mai, and the warm and friendly people in Chiang Mai! See you in Chiang Mai! Chiang Mai is looking forward to our next meeting!

Travel summary

1. We went in February 65438. The weather in Chiang Mai is not as hot as that in Bangkok. You can wear long sleeves, but it's sunny Pay attention to sun protection and be cool at night.

2. AirAsia flights to Chiang Mai are the cheapest in Hong Kong and Macau, and the flight time in Macau is very good.

Change as much money as possible, because there are too many delicious and interesting things. Of course, many shops can pay by credit card or Alipay.

4. Massage chicken in Thailand must be done, otherwise it will be done for nothing. !

5. Chiang Rai is highly recommended. Be sure to go! There is also a leap in the jungle, which is so exciting and worth experiencing!

6.Herb's aromatherapy essential oil products are very good and affordable, and they are usually given away.

7. It doesn't matter if the restaurant can't find the shop recommended in the Raiders. Just go to one, it won't be too bad, and it will save time to find a store. Anyway, we have several meals that are solved in this way.

8. Chiang Mai Airport is very small. Don't expect to buy all handwritten letters at the airport. When you see the right one when you go shopping, you buy it first.
